AUTODESK, INC.UKIE Country Kit Workbook1General1.1Introduction from the author and creatorThe document is an overview of all settings that AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 Country Kit for the UK andIreland. Also this is an update to what was provided in 2014 with enhancements and changes based onlearning from users over the past year.As the UK and Ireland has no true drawing standards the styles provided should give results that arefamiliar to the users and to be similar to other civil design software in some cases.The content is an example of what is possible and to what a user of AutoCAD Civil 3D should require tostart using the product from out of the box.For any organisation, the templates provided should be used as a base to adjust the content for their ownneeds where some changes to layer names, colours, linetypes and drawing border frames can beachieved with only AutoCAD knowledge.The templates then could be located on a network location so to standardise that organisation withconsistent results. Any styles created on the fly for specific needs can be always dragged and droppedback into the master template for reuse. In addition the style manager can compare changes and alsopurge out unnecessary styles and layers.This year has focused on some corrections to the toolpalette, design criteria checking for ‘K’ values, pointcodes being more obvious in assembly view and settings for profile lockingThe country kit is an on-going development and is based on user feedback, so please feel free to suggestadditions, amendments as needed. These are assisted by an example drawing and user case.Please email jack.strongitharm@autodesk.comKeep up to date by reading the blog site and following the Youtube channel for updates andannouncements.www.autodesk.com/fromthegroundup and also the YouTube Channel www.youtube.co.uk/CivilFromtheGroundUpEnjoyJack Strongitharm – AutodeskAutoCAD 2015 UKIE Country KitPage 4 of 10021/02/2014

Folder containing drawings with predefined assemblies that can be used with theJunction functionality.Rate Item Data. An example file containing settings for reporting areas and length from objects inthe current drawing.Toolspace is the Primary Civil 3D property window. This window is used for handling Civil 3D objects andsettings of all Civil 3D styles for Civil 3D objects and labels. The Toolspace has two important tabs: 1.2.1Prospector. Use this tab for handling properties and styles for Civil 3D objects and labels.Settings. Use this tab for general settings of Civil 3D styles.ProspectorAny Civil 3D object contains its own style. This style controls the Civil 3D object appearance (object andlabel) in the drawing. The Prospector tab in the Toolspace is the Primary window for handling property,styles and commands for all Civil 3D objects.AutoCAD 2015 UKIE Country KitPage 5 of 10021/02/2014

AUTODESK, INC.UKIE Country Kit WorkbookFrom the Prospector tab in the Toolspace it is possible to create, copy or edit styles for Civil 3D objects.In addition to this labels are generated as dynamic data mostly annotative.Note that new styles not automatically will be saved in the template for the CKD. This has to be donemanually with Drag and Drop in the ‘Master View’ settings tab.1.2.2SettingsCivil 3D objects are generated with their own styles when created in the drawing with a Civil 3Dcommand.It is recommended to start from the UKIE / or IE template and bring data into that templateAutoCAD 2015 UKIE Country KitPage 6 of 10021/02/2014

AUTODESK, INC.UKIE Country Kit WorkbookHere it is possible create, copy or edit Civil 3D styles. Note that new or edited styles not automatically willbe saved in the template. This has to be done manually with Drag and Drop.All styles are set to Bylayer so that control of colour, linetype, lineweight, on or off etc can be controlledthrough the layer manager and also enables the use of XREF into plain AutoCAD software.As there are many layers, filters have been added to make it quick and easy to navigate the layers1.2.3ColoursA suggested line colour scheme has been implemented to give suitable results from plotting.Plot styles have been created to accompany the printing from these templatesAutoCAD Civil 3D UKIE 2015.ctbAutoCAD Civil 3D UKIE 2015 - No Colour.ctbAutoCAD 2015 UKIE Country KitPage 7 of 10021/02/2014
